Savannah

Well what can I say, Gran's little make a wish spell really did work! Let me start from the beginning.
Roman and I went to the woods (yes again) yesterday. I was starting to get annoyed about where Pywacket has been going. He kept coming back and had obviously been fed coz he didn't want feeding when he returned. Anyway we needed the excuse to search for those footprints again.
As we went deeper into the woods we started to hear that singing again, this time we decided we weren't gonna leave til we found out who it belonged to. We went deeper and deeper and I started to wonder if we shouldn't be leaving breadcrumbs behind us to guide us back!
I was just about to tell Roman we should head back when he saw her, this red haired girl sitting on the floor singing, and there sitting on a log beside her was Pywacket. If its possible for owls to look sheepish he defo did! The girl looked up as we came into view but she didn't seem worried, in fact she smiled at us.
She was quite beautiful with long ringlet red hair. She wasn't dressed like a normal girl though, she wore this strange emerald green velvet cape, a bit like red riding hood lol, She had huge green eyes to match too.
"Hi", she said. We both said hello. "Are you the one who sings"?, I said stupidly. "Oh have you heard me"?, she replied. I then told her we had heard her singing for a while now but every time we have looked for the voice we could never find it! "I do tend to come deep into the woods to sing", she said. She seemed to want to say more but closed her mouth. "Well I think you have a lovely voice, you shouldn't hide it away out here", I told her. I stuck out my hand and said, "Prudence Brimstone, nice to meet you". She seemed a little taken back but shook my hand and told me her name was Savannah. "This is Roman", I said pointing at him, "and the mad looking owl keeping you company over there is Pywacket" Savannah laughed and told me Pywacket had been coming to listen to her sing for a while now. I gave Pywacket my most withering look.
I asked her if she came to the woods alone, she thought about this question and then slowly nodded. (Not sure what that's all about.) I then noticed the things around her. I recognised the book on the floor as being a Book of Shadows like the one Gran showed me. She also had some candles in a circle around her. I wasn't sure whether to ask her the W question but she beat me to it. "I know what you are thinking". she said, "and yes I am a practising witch". "Something in common, I said. Savannah looked me up and down and nodded.
"Don't your family wonder where you go all the time"?, asked Roman. Savannah said rather sadly that her family knew where she was. Must admit she is a bit odd, she doesn't seem to want to answer many questions about herself. Strange thing is even though she seems a bit secretive I already like her. Looks like Pywacket does too.
I saw the time and said we needed to get home. Savannah said she was heading off soon too. "Hope to see you again soon", I said. "Oh we definitely will meet again", Savannah replied. We gave a little wave and headed back to civilisation again.
So Grans spell does work, I will have to tell her about this when I next see her.
